Early Colonial Villa 1902
This beautifully preserved villa was built in 1902 by Mr. John Bray, proprietor of several hotels in Mangōnui.
It was home to a number of early Mangōnui doctors, including Dr. Douglas Cameron, a surgeon who conducted a private practice from this house. In 1926, Dr. Cameron was appointed as the first Surgeon-Superintendent of the Mangōnui Hospital, which was located further up the hill (across State Highway 10). The Hospital buildings were subsequently relocated to Kaitaia.
